Who has more risk... the limited partners or the general partners?

Investing in real estate as an active investor can have some significant risks involved. Luckily, there's a way to invest in real estate, reap the benefits, and have very little risk involved.

The answer... a real estate syndication. But who is responsible for what? Who brings the money in? Who has their name on the loan? Who stands to lose the most?

Find out all of this and more on this week's episode of Multifamily Investing Made Simple, in under 10 minutes.

05/01/2024

Is there a way to tell if someone is a real estate investor... just by looking at them?

Probably not... But I bet you could have a conversation with someone and tell if they invest in real estate without it ever being mentioned.

In this episode, Dan and Anthony are going to break down tell-tale signs of real estate investors. So, tell me you invest in real estate...without telling me you invest in real estate.

04/29/2024

Let's dive into the critical insights and predictions for 2024 - a year poised at the cusp of transformation and turbulence in the economic, real estate, and tech arenas. From the potential risks faced by investors, to the mysterious play of market forces, and even the speculative world of alien activities - we've got everything predicted for next year.

In 6 months we're going to come back and see how right... or wrong... we were about the interest rates, real estate market, and crypto's rise.

Embrace the Winter Slowdown: let's discuss the challenges of the slower winter months in the apartment world and how to make the best use of this time.

- Utilize the slow period for cleanup and interior projects, such as decluttering storage areas and painting common spaces.

- Be proactive in servicing essential systems like boilers to prevent inconvenient and costly breakdowns during the colder months.

- Exercise caution with vendor bids—beware of unrealistically low offers and prioritize quality over cost when it comes to crucial property maintenance.

Tune in for more valuable insights and strategies to make the most of the winter season in real estate investing and property management.

What type of investor are you?

Are you getting close to retirement and getting a bit more risk averse? Are you just starting out in your investing career and hungry to grow your capital stack as quickly as possible? Or are you somewhere between the two extremes?

Maybe you're like us and looking for opportunities generating solid cashflow, but that also have great appreciation on the back-end?

Not really sure which bucket you fall into? No worries, we're here to help you answer this most important of questions.

As Sir Terry Pratchett said, "If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong."

04/22/2024

It may sound like clickbait, but it is possible to achieve infinite returns through real estate. BUT you've got to to make sure you're using strategic approaches.

There's always potential pitfalls when seeking infinite returns through 100% financing... not to worry, there's a more prudent and low-risk alternative: cash-out refinancing.

This strategy can lead to an entirely derisked investment, provide ongoing cash flow, and unlock a tax-efficient way to grow your real estate portfolio.

04/19/2024

In this episode, let's discuss the types of returns you can expect in an apartment syndication.

From the comparative annual returns in real estate to the low returns of government bonds and the higher risk of the stock market, the numbers speak for themselves. Real estate offers substantial returns with a risk profile comparable to safer options.

So, whether it's value-add syndications or class A investments, the potential for impressive returns is real. If you're looking to make your money work harder, real estate might just be your golden ticket.

04/17/2024

Everyone's favorite holiday... Tax Season.

So, this is an opportune time to revisit one of real estate investing's greatest qualities... the tax benefits. Because when it comes to wealth creation, it's not about what you make, it's about what you keep. And depreciation is a great vehicle to offset passive income.

Also, as a side note... this is more relevant than ever, as the rules governing bonus depreciation have changed so that investors can only take advantage of 60% that bonus depreciation in the first year of a deal. And next year it will only be 40%, then 20%, and then 0%...

What does this all mean, and how does depreciation save you money? Find out on this week's episode of Multifamily Investing Made Simple.

04/16/2024

In this episode... we're coming at you with some takes that are NOT tepid... we've actually got some hot takes for you all today.

Here's what we're covering today...

Real estate investors are optimistic about the future, according to a survey done recently. What does that mean for deal flow?

Congress is introducing a bill that would prevent hedge funds from purchasing and owning single family homes.

Barbara Corcoran, from Shark Tank, has some pretty lackluster real estate investing advice.

And The S&P 500 has a diamond in the rough... real estate.

04/09/2024

Let's breakdown the difference in investing philosophies that new investors have and that old school investors have. Specifically with how they handle their Cap-Ex and Op-Ex (capital expenditure and operational expenses).

Generally, your Cap-Ex is going to consist of one time payments, like a new roof, or replacing a boiler. And your Op-Ex is going to consist of reoccurring expenses, like insurance, utilities, smaller repairs, etc.

Here's where new and old investors differ... new investors want to add value and amortize a lot of the cap-ex costs over the life of a deal. They're worried about monthly cashflow for their investors.

Where as older investors, who may not even have any LPs in the deal, want to tack on as many of those costs into their Op-Ex budget as possible.

Why? Which way is better? Find out on this week's episode of Multifamily Investing Made Simple.

04/05/2024

How does an investor think? How do they think about money? The key is they always see an opportunity.

Let's break this down into two concepts...

1) The time value of money.

2) Opportunity costs.

These concepts are essential to the thought process of any successful investor.

04/02/2024

Ever wonder about the mindset of an investor? It's all about how we view money and opportunity through our unique lens.

Let me share two concepts that have shaped my own thinking:

The time value of money: Understanding that money today is worth more than the same amount in the future.

Opportunity costs: Recognizing that every decision involves trade-offs and considering the potential benefits sacrificed.

These principles have been fundamental to my journey as an investor, guiding my approach and shaping my success.

04/01/2024

Let's hit the reset button discuss how to start all over from ZERO. How we go from scratch... back to a $70,000,000 real estate portfolio.

We will go over the principles of making money and creating a flexible lifestyle from the beginning.

03/29/2024

Today, we're going to answer a tough question... does age matter in real estate investing?

Age doesn't have to be a hindrance: Whether you're young and brimming with energy, or older with a lifetime of experience, age shouldn't limit your real estate ambitions. It's all about finding the right balance and leveraging your strengths.

Partnerships are key: Young and lacking experience? Find a seasoned partner. Older and looking to hustle less? Team up with a driven young investor. Partnerships can help bridge the gaps and create a winning combination in real estate ventures.

Know yourself: Self-awareness is key. Understand your strengths and weaknesses. If you're not cut out for swinging a hammer, consider alternative strategies such as turnkey properties. Knowing yourself empowers smart decision-making in real estate.

03/20/2024

Real estate investing is one of the greatest ways to generate wealth. But... it's not a get rich quick game, it's a get rich over a long period of time kind of game.

However, now that we've been in this game for a bit, we've got the top 3 hacks that you can use to start generating wealth through real estate investing.

1) The secret to networking.

2) Vetting operators and asking the RIGHT question.

3) As for operations... take the outside-in approach.

Let's dive deeper into these and more on this week's episode of Multifamily Investing Made Simple.

03/12/2024

Why don't we raise debt, instead of equity? This is a weird question... As an operator, what's more valuable...

Your debt terms or the equity you raise?

The most important thing you need to remember about investing... or just making money in general... is that it's not about what you make, it's about what you keep.

And with that in mind, here are the most expensive mistakes you can make when investing in real estate.

1) Investing in the wrong people. This could be your partner, your employee(s), your property management team, your operators, etc.

2) Cutting corners. There are a lot of ways, tempting ways, to cut corners and save profit. But more often than not, you're creating a headache for your future self.

3) Location. Location, location, location. You can fix a property, but you can't fix a neighborhood.

Let's dive deeper into each of these on this week's episode of Multifamily Investing Made Simple.

Growing your real estate portfolio is tough.

There's a common misconception…you might underestimate the work to build it and overestimate the effort to maintain it. That tricky middle ground can lead to burnout.

Curious how?

After you've decided that you want to invest in real estate, you know how much you want to invest and you have your investment parameters defined... the next step is finding an operator that works for YOU.

And while this is not an easy process, we've broken it down into five simple things that you need to look for.

Personality - Does their personality mesh well with yours? Are they relaxed or straight-laced? How do they communicate, and how often? The best way to do determine if an operator's personality works with yours is to hop on a call with them and pick their brain.

Track Record - This one is obvious, but you're going to want to see an operator's track record before investing. And if they're hesitant to show you, that's a red flag. Now, not every operator has a record, they might be new to the game. But that's a risk you need to be aware of before you invest.

The Team - Find out about their operations and see if they have a dream team. This is going to consist of bankers, CPA's, lawyers, the operators themselves, and most importantly the property management.

Education - We don't necessarily mean a traditional education here. What we mean is that you want someone who has experience or knowledge of their market.

Trustworthiness - This one is hard to define because it's different for everyone. But it's the most important trait to look for. You are putting a lot of trust in an operator when you invest with them, so make sure YOU feel comfortable with every aspect of the process.

01/03/2024

Raising capital is one of the many hurdles any operator is going to have to jump over when investing in real estate.

Even if you find a slam dunk deal, a once in a lifetime opportunity, it may still be a struggle for you to find the capital and investors to finance your deal. So don't make it any more difficult on yourself and avoid these things...

Be cautious about borrowing from the wrong sources:

We discuss the risks of taking money from unreliable or high-interest sources like credit cards. While some successful individuals have used credit cards or unconventional methods to get started, it's important to evaluate the potential risks and have a solid plan for repayment in place.

Stay away from borrowing from friends and family:

While there may be instances where borrowing from loved ones seems like a viable option, it often brings emotional and relational risks. Friends and family members may not fully understand the investment and could face financial difficulties if things don't go as planned. It's best to consider other alternatives or explore private lending options from experienced investors.

Avoid relying on illiquid investments for immediate financial needs:

Real estate investments should generally be approached with a long-term perspective. If you anticipate needing the invested funds in the near future for living expenses or other short-term commitments, it's advisable to reconsider your strategy. Real estate is an asset class that thrives with time, so patience is key.

There's a lot to cover in real estate news this week...

Over the past month or so, there has been a 300% increase in the search rate of the term HELOC. I've seen article after article pushing the HELOC as THE way to finance your investment properties in today's economy.

A home equity line right now could really come back to bite you in the butt. Rates are high, and probably only going to go higher. And you're going to be paying a rate 200+ basis points higher then that. Right now that means you're going to be looking at 10%...

We're not saying you should never use a HELOC, we've used it before successfully. It's a great way to quickly fix and flip a property. But if you're looking to use it for a long term investment, there are much better options out there. The fact that it's becoming such a craze right now... just doesn't make sense.

We've talked about our love for vertical integration at Invictus Capital and how we use our in-house property management system for our assets.

In this episode, we won't push you to go one way or another. Property management isn't clear-cut.

The challenge lies in striking the right balance.
